Hi everyone,

I'm very new here, so i'd like to say hi and please bear with me while i find my way around.

I'm based in the UK and looking at going to Brussels, Belgium or Lyon, France for Lap-band surgery. I want to make sure it's the right thing for me and also find the best possible surgeon, hence all this research!

I'm looking forward to sharing everyone's experiences, good and bad, and offering my support where i can.

Hi Jenny, welcome to Lab Band Land. :welcome: I'm new also, although I am definitely having the band done. I'm still trying to find my way around in here also! Everyone is very helpful. I'm still trying to figure out the abbreviations for everything. I'm doing OK on that for the most part, every once in a while they stump me though. Good luck with your decision.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
